Shower tray repair near Colsterworth

Shower tray repair in Colsterworth, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Colsterworth

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Colsterworth

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
